"Some Russians are specific. Sharapova is inaccessible. She's always keeping herself out of the way. She's friends with noone. Chakvetadze is very similar. Kuznetsova, on the other hand, is great! She's funny and always the life and soul of the party. Dementieva is also very likeable. She's like a normal girl from the neighbourhood"
- Agnieszka Radwańska sharing her opinions on the dominant Russians on the WTA Tour.

"Do you want to get broken first, or do you want me to hold?"
- Martina Hingis to Lindsay Davenport, after winning the coin toss.

why is it that every interview of every player has a question about Russian players? I mean, why not to ask what some think of Kazahstan players? Or American players? It is getting to a point of being boooooooring

some will disagree saying it is still the US with 2 Slams last year and a player ranked at No2

OTOH 50% of top12 has RUS next to their names.
Anyway, she's just about right for me. At least I had similar similar feelings about at least Lena & Sveta based on personal experience. And she didn't exactly say her opinion on Russian players in general, but on 4 different players. Nothing wrong with that.

Aga was asked about players in general, but she only said something about the Russians. I think it's maybe good that she didn't mention Jankovic this time, cause otherwise she would be slaughtered by JJ's fans...
